Cutting OP’s and ED’s - In or Out?

15 01 2008

Like this? Minami-cut? No… read on plox.

Earlier in some IRC channel came up the discussion about how Formula (a fansub group) decided to cut the Opening and Ending on their Shugo Chara releases. I thought that might trigger an interesting discussion if it hasn’t been discussed yet.
Note that I haven’t watched Shugo Chara yet so I will not even talk about it - it is just the example - nor am I criticizing Formula because of their choice; I am just trying to compare the pros and cons of this matter.

The Mandatory Rant of the Ronery Blog

15 01 2008

Actually, I wanted to write something about a different topic, but this topic became predominant so I guess this will come first. Like in other places, I will now split the many topics in different entries to earn more attention- and this time, I hope it WILL trigger some discussion as well.

Spice and Wolf Episode 1

10 01 2008

Horo made me do it!

I know I shouldn’t be doing this… I have an exam in 12 hours from now and I haven’t even started studying yet T_T
Yet still I watched Spice and Wolf because everyone was talking about it and Horo seems to be quite a fine… wolf. Is it can be tiem to change the “a cat is fine too” meme to “a wolf is fine too”.

thinkbox moved~

9 01 2008

A cute maid did it for me :3

With the recent problems affecting the Dreamhost servers, neko’s thinkbox has been moved to a dedicated server. And with this, as you might already have noticed, I am now running ads to keep AnimeBlogger alive. (gagaga it wasn’t just J-List, but also Adsense… removed some text that went against the TOS ^^;;;)
On a first side note, J-List roxxorz my mailboxxorz: I have been getting my Megami Magazine from them for almost four years. They offer pretty interesting reserve subscriptions, one mail and they cancel the subscription (didn’t have to do it yet XD). There have never been any major problems at all (if ever, then because of me, cuz my dad’s CC expired…). Their customer service is fast, reliable and friendly.
In short, I recommend J-List, because they rock. :D
On a second side note, Dreamhost keeps getting worse ratings from year to year. I have rarely heard any good reviews about them, and usually people blame the many downtimes of the servers and the awful support DH is offering. Let’s just hope the problems that are affecting the servers AB.net is hosted will be resolved soon.

Minami-ke - A Late Review (Part 1)

9 01 2008
Minami-ke!

Late as always, but better late than never! Out of the few series that I had in my current preference pool, I chose Minami-ke. From what I had heard about it from different places, it seemed to me like it the best start into the new year, and also yet another comeback after a few weeks of anime hiatus. And I am glad I did it. I couldn’t have made a better choice. After watching half of the series, I was already in love with Minami-ke.

At that time I already was writing on a mid-season review, but as always, I got carried away and wrote 90% of what you would call an end of series review, with conclusions and anticipations of the next season already… to watch then the rest of the series later and to add…. what, a second personal appreciation, copy/pasta etc? Heck, that would have made no sense indeed.
